Oregon Senator Ron Wyden led a bipartisan group of Western senators pressing the Biden administration to coordinate and develop a strategy to combat jet fuel shortages that undercut wildland firefighting as wildfires burn across the West.   All of the senators from West Coast state joined in the letter sent to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.  The senators requested a response within two weeks on plans to address fuel shortages for aerial wildfire efforts, coordinating a response if there is a shortage while multiple wildfires are burning, ensuring there is enough available personnel to transport fuel, and steps to ensure private entities have enough jet fuel to support aerial firefighting.  The senators called “a strategic and integrated approach to tackle wildfire” essential.
